The document provides calculations for determining the minimum required blind thickness of a pipe joint according to ASME SEC VIII standards. It lists the parameters needed which include the pipe diameter, a coefficient from ASME figures, the design pressure, maximum allowable stress, joint efficiency, bolt load, and gasket moment arm. It then shows the calculation of the minimum required blind thickness based on these parameters.
